Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

I’m just gunna go ahead and take this opportunity to encourage everyone out there who needs to register for mail-in voting to go ahead and do that. Do it right now. And remember to send it back early or drop it off in person.

If you (reader, not necessarily OP) are in Wisconsin, you can go to myvote.wi.gov and request absentee ballots for every election of the year, no reason required, but this must be done every single year. If you aren’t already registered to vote, you can also do that online at the same link.

You haven't been doing that in every election since your 18th birthday?

this is like those parents making fun of their kids "for finally coming out of their cave to join us" when doing something you want them to do. stop it!

Be careful. If you're in a red state like I am you should vote in person if at all possible. Republicans love invalidating valid mail in ballots.

I am, and I'm close enough to walk to the voting place 🎉

(Assuming you're USAsian) Too bad the postal changes Turnip is making are probably gonna make mail-in ballots too unreliable.
